Snowfall totals averaging 20cms. tonight. Winds have been moderate today from the Southerly half and are forecasted to increase overnight. Expect slab avalanche danger within this new snow layer. Avoid steep Northerly aspects in the alpine region until this new snow has had a chance to bond with the old snowpack.
High winds may interrupt operations of phase 2 of the gondola on Friday.

Alpine conditions are generally stable. Steep North aspects may produce small loose snow avalanches. On South aspects, stay alert to warm daytime temperatures. This may produce small wet slab avalanches with traversing being a particularly good trigger.
Intense and rapid warming conditions are actually producing more dangerous conditions below treeline. Ensure your plans do not include entering or crossing underneath steep open slopes on South aspects after midday. Forecasted warm temperatures are going to make this problem worse over the next couple days.
